Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical device for handling a light radiation. It relates more particularly to an optical device comprising a multi-passage cavity configured to modify the transverse phase profile of a light radiation.
- MPLC Multi Plane Light Conversion according to the English expression
- Parts constituting such a device must be positioned and oriented relative to each other with great precision. This accuracy is necessary to ensure that incident light radiation intercepts the optical element precisely at the level of the microstructured area, in order to impart to it a selected transformation. This need for precision in the arrangement of the optical parts composing the device is even more true that the same piece can intercept several times the optical path of the incident radiation (typically between 3 and 25 times as just stated) so that a minimum positioning or orientation deviation from the required positioning can greatly affect the proper operation of the device.
- optical positioning tolerances are much smaller than the geometrical tolerances for the manufacture of the parts (at least if one is looking for parts that can be produced at a reasonable cost), so that the position of these parts, in their assembly positions, can not be generally established in advance with the necessary precision.
- the input stage, the mirror and the optical element are first positioned roughly opposite one another. Incident light radiation is injected into the cavity thus formed, and the intensity of the light signal at the outlet of the cavity is detected.
- the relative position and orientation of the input stage, the mirror and the optical element are adjusted as finely as possible according to all available degrees of freedom to optimize the detected intensity. This Optimal relative positioning and orientation are temporarily frozen, for example by means of adjustable holding clips.
- Alignment cubes (or more generally aligning pieces) having flat faces and having contiguous faces perpendicular to each other are then used to fix the floor via a layer of adhesive or adhesive. the mirror and the optical element in their optimum positions to the support.
- assembly interface refers to the plane contact existing between the surfaces in contact of two parts assembled to one another.
- the part to be fixed has an orientation in the space that does not make it possible to provide a face that can come into plane contact with the support or with a first alignment cube disposed on the support, it is possible to assemble cubes between them. level of their planar faces, so that one of the faces of this assembly can come into plane contact with the assembly face of the part to be fixed and another face of this assembly then come into plane contact with the support.
- This same approach can be deployed to assemble the support each piece forming the optical element.
- FIG. 1 thus shows a schematic perspective of a multi-passage cavity 1 composed of a plane support 2 and of two reflecting optical elements 3, 3 'disposed opposite one another .
- a first optical element 3 has a microstructured main surface 3a for modifying the phase of incident light radiation. It is assembled to the plane support by means of a first alignment cube 4, a first face of which is in plane contact with the support, and another face, perpendicular to the first, is in plane contact with an assembly face 3b of the first optical element.
- a second optical element 3 ' here corresponding to a simple mirror, is disposed on the support 2 by means of a second alignment cube 4', one face of which is in plane contact with the support 2.
- a second face of the second cube 4 ' is in plane contact with a first face of a third cube 4''.
- the third cube 4 is itself in plane contact, at a second face perpendicular to its first face, with an assembly face 3b 'of the mirror 3'.
- each interface is a potential source of failure.
- the constraints, for example of thermal origin, to which the assembly may be subjected may lead to the development of slight displacements which may affect the proper functioning of the device. It is the same for the layer of adhesive or adhesive that can seal two faces together, and whose properties may vary over time, and according to the environmental conditions to which the device is exposed.
- the present invention aims to overcome all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the object of the invention proposes a multi-passage cavity composed of the assembly of a plane support, an alignment piece, a first and a a second reflective optical element each having a main face disposed opposite each other, the main face of at least one of the optical elements being microstructured to modify the phase of an incident light radiation; which is reflected a plurality of times on each of the optical elements to form a transformed radiation.
- the multi-passage cavity precisely comprises three assembly interfaces between the plane support, the alignment piece, the first and second reflective optical elements.
- the support comprises a main face delimited by at least one plane wafer and in which the first reflecting optical element is assembled to the flat wafer of the support at a first assembly interface, and the main face of the second reflecting optical element. is delimited by at least one flat lateral edge, the plane lateral edge being joined to a first plane face of the alignment piece at a second interface, and the alignment piece having another plane face perpendicular to the first, assembled at the support at a third interface; the main face of the first or second optical element is microstructured, the main face of the first reflecting optical element is delimited by a longitudinal flat wafer, the longitudinal flat wafer being joined to the flat face of the support, and the main face of the second optical element.
- the reflector is bounded by at least one flat side edge, the flat side edge being joined to a first planar face of the alignment piece at a second interface, and the alignment piece having another flat face, perpendicular to the first, assembled at the support at a third interface; the main faces of the first and second optical elements are microstructured;
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective of a multi-pass cavity of the state of the art
- FIG. 2 represents a multi-pass cavity according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 represents a multi-pass cavity according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- the present application defines light radiation as radiation formed by at least one mode of an electromagnetic field, each mode forming a spatio-frequency distribution of amplitude, phase, polarization of the field. Consequently, the modification, the manipulation or the transformation of the phase of the luminous radiation designates the modification or the spatio-frequential transformation of at least one of the modes of the radiation.
- shape of radiation will be referred to as the transverse distribution of the amplitude and phase of the mode or the combination of the transverse amplitude and phase distributions of the modes composing this radiation.
- the present description relates to an optical device for manipulating incident light radiation to form transformed light radiation.
- the shape of the incident light radiation and the transformed light radiation are different from each other.
- the handling of the incident light radiation comprises the controlled modification of the transverse phase profile of this radiation, during a plurality of primary transformations which contribute, in combination, to operate a specific optical function. It can be a multiplexing or a spatial demultiplexing of the incident radiation or any other modal transformation in the spatial domain. It may for example be to operate 4 primary transformations or more, such as 8, 10, 12, 14, or even 20 or more elementary transformations.
- the optical device comprises, on a support 2, a multi-passage cavity 1 for transforming the incident light radiation into a transformed light radiation.
- the optical device may optionally comprise an input stage and an output stage respectively for guiding the injection of the incident light radiation and the extraction of the transformed light radiation from the cavity 1, when these radiations are not simply injected and / or extracts from the device 1 by simple propagation in free space.
- FIG. 2 thus shows a multi-passage cavity 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- the multi-passage cavity 1 is composed of the assembly of a plane support 2, an alignment piece 4 and two reflecting optical elements 3, 3 'disposed opposite each other . No other piece is necessary to form the multi-passage cavity 1, that is to say to assemble between them the support 2, the alignment piece and the two optical elements reflecting in relative positions and orientations making the cavity functional.
- the first optical element 3 has a main surface 3a, turned towards the inside of the microstructured cavity 1. This microstructuring is configured to modify the phase of incident light radiation which is reflected there a plurality of times during its propagation in the cavity 1 according to the general direction P.
- face or microstructured surface is meant, for example, that the face or surface may have “pixels” whose dimensions are between a few microns to a few hundred microns. Each pixel has an elevation, with respect to an average plane defining the face or the surface in question, of at most a few microns or at most a few hundred microns.
- the main face 3a of the first optical element 3 comprises a plurality of microstructured zones 6, each microstructured zone 6 being disposed on the main face 3a to precisely receive the incident light radiation and to apply a transformation therein. primary phase.
- the first optical element 3 is a reflective phase plate and the second optical element 3 'is a simple mirror, that is to say that its main face 3'a , oriented towards the interior of the cavity 1 is not microstructured.
- microstructured zones 6 of the main face 3a of the first optical element 3 are here distinct from each other, but this characteristic is not essential and any other microstructuring configuration could be suitable, insofar as it allows apply a determined transformation of the incident radiation.
- the support 2 comprises a main face 2a delimited by at least one flat wafer 2b, perpendicular to the main surface 2a of the support 2.
- the main face 3a of the first optical element 3 is assembled to the flat wafer 2b of the support 2 at the level of a first assembly interface.
- This adjustment is particularly advantageous to exploit when both optical elements 3, 3 'are microstructured
- the mirror 3 ' is arranged so that its main reflecting face 3'a is oriented towards the inside of the cavity 1, opposite the main face 3a of the first optical element
- the main reflecting face 3'a of the mirror 3 ' is delimited by at least one flat lateral edge 3b', that is to say a flat surface whose normal is oriented in the general direction P.
- This flat lateral edge 3b ' is assembled to a first flat face of the alignment piece 4 (here a cube 4), level of a second interface.
- the alignment piece 4 has another flat face, perpendicular to the first, assembled to the support 2 at a third interface.
- this embodiment takes advantage of the degrees of freedom offered in the positioning and orientation of the second optical element, when it consists of a mirror 3 ', ie a non-microstructured reflective surface.
- a mirror may, to a certain extent, be displaced in translation in the direction P and in rotation along an axis perpendicular to its main reflecting surface 3 'a, without affecting the proper operation of the optical device.
- the alignment piece 4 assembled to the flat side edge of the mirror makes it possible to fix the orientation of this mirror around a direction of rotation axis P in a functional position.
- the mirror 3 ' is generally not in plane contact with the support 2, and there is therefore no assembly interface between these two parts.
- the aligning piece 4 To enable the aligning piece 4 to be in plane contact with both the support 2 and the lateral plane wafer 3b 'of the mirror, the angular positioning of the mirror around its axis of rotation perpendicular to its main surface is imposed. 3 'so that the lateral plane wafer 3b' is perpendicular to the flat surface 2a of the support 2.
- the assembly configuration which has just been described is particularly advantageous in that it limits the number of assembly interfaces to three, which notably improves the robustness of the cavity and the simplicity of its assembly, without imposing constraints on the geometric tolerances of the parts that compose it. It also does not modify the general assembly process presented in the preamble to this application, which allows it to be deployed with the same equipment and existing methods.
- the three interfaces make it possible to precisely adjust three degrees of freedom which are the only ones whose precise adjustment is absolutely necessary for the good assembly of the device.
- only the main face 3 'of the second optical element 3' is structured and the first optical element 3 is formed of a simple mirror.
- FIG. 3 represents an example of a second mode of implementation of a multi-pass cavity 1 according to the invention.
- the second optical element 3 ' is assembled to the support 2 in the same way as in the first embodiment, at two interfaces. Its description will not be repeated, for the sake of brevity.
- the main face 3a of the first optical element 3 is delimited by a longitudinal flat wafer 3b, perpendicular to the main face.
- This second mode of implementation differs from the first mode of implementation in that the longitudinal plane wafer 3b is assembled to the flat face 2a of the support 2, which constitutes the third interface.
- this embodiment is particularly suitable for configurations where only the main face 3a of the first optical element 3 or only the main face 3 'of the second optical element 3' is microstructured.
- the microstructured zones can be carried by one or other of the main faces 3a, 3 'to optical elements 3, 3', but preferably not by both, without this option being nevertheless totally excluded.
- a multi-pass cavity precisely comprises three assembly interfaces between the support, the alignment piece and optical elements. These three interfaces are necessary and sufficient to relatively position the parts 3, 3 'with a precision of the order of a micrometer and an angular precision of the order of the micro-radian. Limiting the number of interfaces to three makes the device particularly robust over time by limiting potential sources of failure.
- the invention provides for reinforcing their adhesion by the addition of an adhesive or an adhesive. adhesive layer that can be formed before the assembly step or introduced between the two faces in contact, after their assembly.
- the materials making up the various parts forming the cavity are advantageously the same, so as to limit the stresses of thermal origin that can be applied at the level of the assembly interfaces. It may especially be silicon, glass, quartz.
